Flash Pro CS5 Replace Symbol Issue

In Flash CS5 pro, when I replace a symbol in the library, it seems to break the refresh of the item(s) in the timeline and on the stage.
For example, if I have a movie clip called "mouse" and modify it in one file, then copy that symbol into another Flash file (either copying it from one library to another, or copying a frame from one timeline to another, etc) it replaces the file....
...BUT the timeline layer that item is on turns blank and the item on the stage doesn't update.
When I scrub the timeline, the object appears and the timeline populates...
...BUT if I have applied tweens to the symbol, I can't preview them by scrubbing the timeline.
Also, none of the symbols used in the file consistently update on the stage or in the timeline.
If I try to change a tween in the timeline on any object, it doesn't update on the timeline (I can't see the tween).
Finally, if I publish the file while this issue exists, the object that I replaced does not tween properly.
In the end, I am forced to save the file, close Flash, and restart. When I restart, the replaced object is there, it tweens correctly, and the file and everything in it functions and its library functions normally.
I've never had this issue with previous versions of Flash. At times it is simply annoying, at other times it is a serious issue when I have to replace large numbers of symbols in large projects.
Anyone else had this issue, or have a recommendation for a fix?
My system is fairly robust... quad core 3.0 ghz, 8gb RAM, 3 x 500gb HDD, Windows 7 64 bit...and I ran Flash Professional CS4 on this same system without any of these issues.
I have the same issue on my work system, which is a completely different system.
I tried searching for a solution, but didn't find an issue listed that matched my problem.

Try file->save-as and save down to a CS4 document. Then try it. I've had a lot of really weird issues with CS5 in the past that saving down to CS4 somehow corrected. Although I use CS5.5 currently. Docs made in CS5 often don't even import into CS5.5 correctly. I need to go in CS5, open it, save down to CS4 and then reopen in CS5.5. There's something about saving down to CS4 that seems to fix things.
You can always save down to CS4, work in CS4 to make your changes then import it back into CS5 and export it.
In this world things are too complex and sometimes although it's not ideal, just getting it done for deadline is the real job.

Need help with languages issue in iOS app created in Flash Pro CS5.5

Hello all,
I'm using Flash Pro CS5.5 on a Mac running Snow Leopard to create an iOS app by publishing with 'AIR for iOS' from inside Flash Pro. Everything works great except after I submit my app to the Apple App Store and it is approved, the App Store listing claims that the app is available in a ton of different languages including English, German, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, etc. Since this app is a word game and all the words are in English, this is a pretty significant issue.
If I view the binary details for the app in iTunes Connect, it shows that localizations are active for all of the different languages. This information is read from the .ipa file that is submitted.
If I unzip the .ipa file, I can see that folders have been created for all of the localizations (i.e. en.lproj, es.lproj, fr.lproj, etc.). If I delete any of those folders, the .ipa will give me a 'resources modified' error at install.
I have also tried setting the plist attribute 'CFBundleLocalizations' to 'English' by editing the 'app.xml'. I have verified that the attribute has been changed correctly but it does not solve the issue. All of the localizations are still active.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't launch or reinstall Flash Pro CS5 after Flash Pro CC installation

I'm on a newly installed hard drive with a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.7.5. I installed Flash Pro CS5 and it opened fine. Then I installed Flash Pro CC and now I cannot open the CS5 version. It says there is a configuration error and I need to uninstall and reinstall the application. So I tried reinstalling and I get a message that I must either cancel the installation or eject the disk image. I have tried all the workarounds suggested for bypassing Mac OS Gatekeeper and still no luck. An Adobe rep from another forum suggested I post this issue here to see if anyone has any suggestions. Here is what I have tried so far:
Control-click on the installer and choose open to run it.
Disabled Gatekeeper in Security and Privacy settings of System Preferences.
Disabled Gatekeeper manually in Terminal.
Tried to uninstall the original installation of Flash CS5, but it says the uninstaller file can't be found.
Ran the Adobe Cleaner tool to remove CS5 applications.
Ran the spctl -a command on the installer and it said CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED. Assuming this means the certificate has been revoked?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Bernst did you also run the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder? This is meant to be ran prior to utilizing the CC Cleaner Tool. You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Also what specific configuration error are you receiving?

Flash Pro CS5.5 "Debugger Failed to Launch"

I'm running Flash Pro CS5.5 on Win 7 Pro x64 with 8GB RAM. My .fla is HUGE (it's a game I'm working on) ~750mb. My exported .swfs are ~35mb.
I can open my project and test the movie one or two times (usually once) before I am unable to test the movie. I'll see the "Exporting SWF Movie" splash screen and when that closes, nothing happens.
If I try to debug CTR+SHFT+ENTER the movie, I see the "exporting SWF Movie" screen and then get an error statin that the debugger failed to launch.
I have a feelin that this is due to the Publish Cache. My machine is hovering around 4GB or RAM usage while rendering the movies. Flash Pro CS5.5 is 32Bit so maybe the debugger is crashing trying to access memory outside of it's allocation?
I have uninstalled CS5.5, run the Adobe cleaner and reinstalled and have the exact same problem.
Any ideas?

If you use timelines (ouch) you can get seamless video or audio loops. Although I imagine you may be doing some transforms on the sound and I myself would rather keep everything in code. But I have still to this day had very little luck with seamless looping via code-only. But the compression Flash does is no different at all than you batch compressing down all those audio files using Adobe Media Encoder.
It's not hard and will save you tons of memory. Just duplicate your full quality audio folder so you have them save. Make a MP3 preset in Adobe Media Encoder with your desired mp3 settings. Drag the folder you want to have better compressed versions and apply the preset to them. Bonus points if the folder is in the same location you initially imported from because you can just select all audio and hit update in flash and you're done. File size should drop drastically. Then while you have the audio still selected you can hit properties and tell them all NOT to compress on export so it'll use the compression you already did (in a cleaner way). Then your export time will drop significantly and your filesize will too. Your memory issue should be gone and flash should be stable.
Let me know if you want me to test exporting. I doubt I'll have an issue but unfortunately all that can tell you is either your Flash is acting up (8GB should be WAY more than enough), or you really somehow are running low on ram.

Flash Pro CS5 Convert to Flex Component and SWC export

Hi,
my question is about the Flash Pro CS5 and Flash Builder 4 (Flex 4) integration.
My goal is simple - to make a simple graphic in a MovieClip and then export that for use in Flash Builder 4. I found out I have 2 ways of doing that:
1) -> create the MovieClip with the graphic
    -> export it for ActionScript with a name of the class
    -> select the symbol in the library again and export SWC file. Total size of this SWC in my example is 24kb.
    -> put the SWC in the libs folder and use the class/component which should be put inside SpriteVisualContainer or UIMovieClip
2) -> create the MovieClip with the graphic
    -> export it for ActionScript with a name of the class
    -> select it in the libraly and then select Commands -> Convert Symbol to Flex Component
Now here we can do 2 things:
    -> select the symbol in the library and export SWC file. Total size here is 104kb.
    -> publish the whole project and use its SWC file.
And last:
    -> put the SWC in the libs folder and use the class/component wherever you want because it's already extending UIMovieClip.
So My point is that with the first way I need to use just one simple container to put my component into and I save like 80 kb. Why would I want to use the second way, just to be more comfortable or there are other reasons too?
I was thinking that maybe I could put more flex converted components in the fla file so I would then export the swc with all of them being already flex components and that 80kb will be shared for all of them, which makes sense of using this feature, but if someone could confirm my thinking is right or there was some other better purpose or way of doing things in an optimised way, I will be glad to hear them. Thanks!

Hi,
I am using the first option while converting from flash to flex. Its easy and it saves lots of memory.

myVideo.play();
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideo);
function stopVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
myVideo.pause();
myStop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideo);

Hi Samuel,
Is Flash still broken for you?
Try uninstalling Flash. Run the cleaning script from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html. And reinstall again.
Hope this works!

Can't Open Flash Pro CS5

I just installed the 30-day trial version of Adobe Flash Pro CS5 on my HP laptop (I'm using Windows XP Professional) and every time I try to open it it says that "Adobe Flash CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I need this for my job and I'm unsure as to why this is happening. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And if so, how did you go about fixing it?

I am facing the same problem. My OS is Win7 and Hardware is Dell Inspiron laptop.
I have installed CS5 Premium 30-day trial. All app work fine except Flash CS5. Can someone help?

Need Help testing iOS app created in Flash Pro Cs5.5

I've followed several instructions on how to develop a simple iOS app. I've managed to go all the way through and Publish + create the .ipa. I'm able to then add the file to my iTunes library, but when I then try to add it to my iPod Touch (2nd Generation) I get the following error:
The app "XXXXXX" was not installed on the iPod "XXXXX's Ipod" because it is not compatible with this iPod.
I've even tried it with a simple "Hello World!" app but I get the same error.
I'm using Flash Pro Cs5.5 on a Windows PC.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the exact same problem with my iphone 3G. I tried publishing the exact same simple flash app to my iphone, which I already previously tested succesfully, after having downloaded flash 5.5, and now I get the following message (which, I believe, is identical to yours kinant87) :
"The app "Main" was not installed on the iPhone "Norgaard" because it is not compatible with this iPhone."
I was trying to make another small app, when I got this problem, which is why I went back to re-test the app I knew was working!
I've reinstalled all my apple certificates, and also tried using flash builder 4.5, with the same result.
I also have not jail broken my phone, and was starting to think perhaps the iPhone 3G was no longer supported?

Save flash pro CS5 file created in windows to a mac os file

I created a flash banner with flash pro CS5 using windows 7. Can I save the file so my client can open it with a Mac OS?

Yes, the .fla file can be opened on either platform. Don't forget to include any external files that you may have used, and fonts that you have embedded into the fla.
